Mark IV tone clips

[redfusionx]

Hi all. I've been looking at this board for quite some time, but had never taken the time to register. I bought a Mark IV back in February of this year, and I've been dialing in some really good sounds with it over the past few months. This is the first tube amp I've ever owned, and it sounds amazing. I simply love this amp! I bought it (or stole it, really, considering the price I paid for it) from a sound engineer that put an ad on Craigslist. I've recorded quite a few clips throughout most of the year, and I thought, hell, maybe you guys would like to hear them, too. Now, please keep in mind that I'm a big newbie at recording and mixing, so some of these clips may sound awkward.

Also, note that none of these clips have had anything drastic done to them. The first clip is physically double tracked, while clips two, three, and four are each just one recording that I doubled (copy & paste) and panned in Reaper.

My favorite, by far. I physically double-tracked this one. You can tell it, too, because my timing was way off

This clip is something I recorded when I found a super-heavy, over-the-top metal tone:

I was digging this tone when I dialed it in, but I wish I'd added a hair more gain:

This one came from out of nowhere:

A friend and I were hanging out back in the summer, and I dialed in a really awesome sound that he liked. Here's a video I shot while he was played:

All in all, this is one amazing amp. If you guys have any sort of suggestions or tips, I'd love to hear 'em

Great tone man ! a little bit too high for my ear (probably the computer speakers), I like the drop tuning stuff.

Thanks man! I suppose most of the highs could be from the pull bright settings. As for tunings, the first clip and the video was a PRS SE in drop B, while all the rest were recorded with a baritone in drop A# :wink:

It may not be my cup of tea, but I can definitely appreciate an amazing tone when I hear it Kind of blows me away that these amps are so versatile.
